Might have asked this before? (STML ahoy)
Does anyone have any Modal Jazz recommendations? Particularly new stuff if anyone is doing it…
One of the best concerts I have been in last couple of years was Szilard Mezei Orchestra performing Hungarian folk songs. Compositions, arrangements, solos and improvisation, choice of instruments… all together so exciting!
Below is a link to something different but also amazing material. His last album and review and small introduction to Szilard’s persona by great jazz journalist Nikola Markovic:
Btw these guys, Organic Pulse Ensemble, have a lot of good stuff:
And what’s more you can buy the entire label digi bundle for 18.5 Euros…well 37 out of 44 at least.
Loving this, thanks for sharing. Recorded in the guy’s apartment!
Enjoyed this album on repeat:
Nice reish from the Glossy gang:
Ran a show for them in Belfast recent. Fantastic live too.
They were saying there’ll be a new album before the end of the year.
Had a bit of jazz chat with the guy in ROVR shop on Saturday. I know nothing. He recommended this ‘spiritual jazz’ Ron Everett record. I didn’t have £70 for the (reissue) record but I dived in for the digital.
Have to say I’m loving it.
Any recommendations for similar vibes?
Picked up the 3 fitz gore LP reissues on sonorama a while back. Keep coming back to them. Not exactly ‘spiritual jazz’ (I dunno)? But raw and deep.
Yeah I’m not exactly sure yet what spiritual jazz is yet!
Thanks for the tips fellas.
A friend of mine put this together. 24 hours’ worth. There might be something in there you like.
Nice playlist I’ll give that a good going through. Big fan of Idris Ackamoor.
I’ve started at the beginning. Will report back this time tomorrow. Thank you!
